    @leighalexander so, I once ran for president of the Edinburgh Science Fiction & Fantasy Society.
  6. …in reply to @leighalexander
    @leighalexander nah, we all gave a speech, but I lost because the winning candidate promised to knit a giant banner.
  7. …in reply to @leighalexander
    @leighalexander uni society voting was always disappointingly free of political tensions.
  8. …in reply to @leighalexander
    @leighalexander I think I'd have to like, start on a PhD. Or at least move back to Edinburgh.
  9. …in reply to @leighalexander
    @leighalexander and as far as I know, she never did. Lies and broken promises!

    @leighalexander just about resisting the temptation to cc her in on this conversation.

    @bfod Puzzle Bobble at the same time as The Resistance would be doable, and probably quite fun.

    @bfod Lemon Joust & MEGA-Bastard.
  16. The thrill of discovering something you're really bad at in new and interesting ways.

  28. I just want some card sleeves & a deck box that don't look awful. Is that so hard? (yes)
  29. …in reply to @sam_cook
    @sam_cook There's not even a nice clear plastic one! But yeah, I am planning to laser myself one eventually. Also custom Netrunner tokens.
  30. Boo, can't watch @asponge's Twitch stream because @asponge is using all the bandwidth up streaming her Twitch stream.

  32. …in reply to @patrickashe
    @patrickashe like, there is no God-given right, not even an inbuilt feeling to having ideas be your possession til the end of time.
  33. …in reply to @patrickashe
    @patrickashe (inbuilt feeling I could do I with researching more, but: an idea of "property" is a human universal, but that doesn't extend..

    @patrickashe ..to ideas.)
  35. …in reply to @patrickashe
    @patrickashe yeah, but GoG have exclusive licence to these games. And most of their tech is freely available.
  36. …in reply to @patrickashe
    @patrickashe we'll see what John Walker says, but I don't think he'll argue that GoG can't sell it, just that they shouldn't have a monopoly
  37. …in reply to @pintendo64
    @pintendo64 @patrickashe pssst... I've got like, loads of those decals. Dya want one?
  38. …in reply to @DGoodayle
    @DGoodayle the people vulnerable to this are the ones who are a bit clueless, or sufficiently metrics-focused. ie, they don't have fans.
  39. …in reply to @DGoodayle
    @DGoodayle to be fair, I am pretty sure I don't have any fans (who aren't within the games industry)

    @mooonmagic happppppy birthdaaaaaay!
  45. I don't have a Vita, though.
  46. I'll bring my 3DS, though. Maybe we will Streetpass but not talk, and through exploration of each others houses in ACNL form a deep bond?
  47. …in reply to @KommanderKlobb
    @KommanderKlobb I never gave you any, did I? Man, I suck at this. Yes, I will.
  48. …in reply to @pintendo64
    @pintendo64 You can go back. You can make it right. You can make ________ a real town again.
  49. …in reply to @pintendo64
    @pintendo64 That's hard. Pecan moved out on me recently. I know, Pecan, I hadn't paid enough attention to you. But did you have to leave?
  50. …in reply to @KommanderKlobb
    @KommanderKlobb @rclarke Can't recall if me questioning the basic conceit of @Carachan1's series made it into her profile of me.
  51. …in reply to @v21
    @KommanderKlobb @rclarke @Carachan1 ie the community of devs I feel I belong to is mainly not in London (and I see them pretty often)
  52. Rah rah London! British indie devs are the best indie devs! I definitely feel nationalism is the most important thing when making games!
  53. …in reply to @leighalexander
    @leighalexander Right, I do actually agree with that. This is mainly unease with dev-representing bodies that go heavy on Britain.
  54. …in reply to @leighalexander
    @leighalexander Or the country-based breakdowns for IGF nominations that sometimes happen (though those are interesting, but...)
  55. …in reply to @undefined
    @Carachan1 @KommanderKlobb @rclarke Yeah -- but like, every bit of work I have on right now is a collaboration with people not in Britain.
  56. …in reply to @undefined
    @Carachan1 @KommanderKlobb @rclarke Yeah, the conceit is actually super valid (& interesting!). But more interesting when questioned.
  57. …in reply to @undefined
    @Carachan1 @KommanderKlobb @rclarke I am always fascinated to go to foreign meetups & hackerspaces, and see how they operate differently.
  58. …in reply to @v21
    @Carachan1 @KommanderKlobb @rclarke but also, despite differences, I still usually feel at home in them, which says something.
  59. …in reply to @metasynthie
    @metasynthie hate crumpets
  60. …in reply to @scanters
    @scanters Well, you can only wear about two at once, and then another 2 for when those are in the wash... 5?
  61. …in reply to @pozorvlak
  62. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp @botherer imo, this feels like a rarer edge case than the times when the current system leads to undesirable outcomes.
  63. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp @botherer like, what was the last > 15 yo undiscovered game that got revived to the point it started making money again?
  64. …in reply to @v21
    @smestorp @botherer thought of an answer to my own question : King of Dragon Pass. Hm. Still not sold.
  65. …in reply to @metasynthie
    @metasynthie @botherer @smestorp I don't know how to work out what "reasonable" would be in this context. Seems like v hard problem.
  66. …in reply to @pintendo64
    @pintendo64 ooooh, goddamn.
  67. …in reply to @Yuecake
    @Yuecake @smestorp @botherer Did 2 million copies on first release?
  68. …in reply to @LewieP
    @LewieP @smestorp Dunno about IHNMBIMS, but SS2 doesn't feel "undiscovered" to me.
  69. …in reply to @LewieP
    @LewieP @smestorp But, like, I don't think Ken Levine's poverty is a good argument for longer copyright terms.
  70. …in reply to @metasynthie
    @metasynthie @smestorp @botherer Why does that seem less likely? Because you're porting, and so taking up all mindshare?
  71. …in reply to @rclarke
    @rclarke Right, but the alternative to this isn't this stuff not being re-released, but stuff getting public-domained.
  72. …in reply to @rclarke
    @rclarke Honestly, I think the question is : does extending copyright longer than 20/30 years make a substantial difference to the...
  73. …in reply to @rclarke
    @rclarke ... motivation the creators would have in making it?
  74. …in reply to @rclarke
    @rclarke That people get paid for their work beyond that consideration doesn't seem like a good basis for law to me.
  75. RT @CourtNewsUK: Younger Chuckle Brother Paul reprimanded for speaking in the first-person plural.
  76. RT @CourtNewsUK: Breaking: Chuckle Brothers *not* permitted to enter witness box together
  77. …in reply to @rclarke
    @rclarke But won't that active life include ongoing dev? Or is ie Dota not the kind of thing you're thinking of?
  78. …in reply to @metasynthie
    @metasynthie @michelmcbride @bfod @smestorp the worst of the current system is when rights just get lost, which this doesn't help.
  79. …in reply to @metasynthie
    @metasynthie @michelmcbride @bfod @smestorp Would be happier about long terms if you had to register your rights at some point to keep 'em.
  80. Oh, this looks beautiful. Anyone wanna publish a boardgame? eriksvedang.com/slice-and-dice/ (cc @PluralGames @e_svedang)
  81. …in reply to @rclarke
    @rclarke but ... you can download the original Spelunky for free, and that hasn't stopped the new versions from selling?
  82. …in reply to @rclarke
    @rclarke Like, yeah free downloads, open source with NC restrictions (as orig Spelunky has) and public domain are different, but not so much
  83. right, but the impressive thing about the new Twitter redesign is that it managed to happen without even needing to reload the page
  84. …in reply to @vorrintal
    @vorrintal @Robin_B well, I clicked "Home" from "Connect", and then it happened.

    @patrickashe so: yes: it was on purpose.

    @Carachan1 too right, @patrickashe deserves that kind of language.

    @PerrinAshcroft @ElectronDance our Unity dialogue system is built from GOTOs and Twine.
  109. …in reply to @HilariousCow
    @HilariousCow I used to write up ongoing projects on the windows...
  110. …in reply to @PerrinAshcroft
    @PerrinAshcroft @ElectronDance Yeah -- so each conversation is it's own Twine file. Dialogue options are multiple links to new passages.
  111. …in reply to @PerrinAshcroft
    @PerrinAshcroft @ElectronDance Then there's a asset processor which converts ie "Claire : Hello" to "yield return Says(claire, @"Hello");"

    @doougle @raiganburns @ColinNorthway I find Twitter super useful for this stuff, because it lets you have a conversation.
  124. …in reply to @ColinNorthway
    @ColinNorthway @doougle @raiganburns I think so! I'm always sceptical of this, though. The average blog doesn't seem more nuanced to me...

  144. …in reply to @weetim
    @weetim ... say that your writing is functional and up to the task to which it's put. Chris's usually seem like they'd benefit from being...
  145. …in reply to @weetim
    @weetim ...edited down pretty heavily. Writers I like : I like the passion & the occasional hyper-focusing on great details of Porpentine.
  146. …in reply to @weetim
    @weetim I'm biased, because we're friends, but Alice O'Connor at Shacknews really knows how to make a press release actually entertaining.
  147. …in reply to @weetim
    @weetim That's a different beat, though. And other writers who I love are doing even less comparable jobs (ie Tim Rogers).

    @smestorp @patrickashe No, I'm saying the marketing is part of the game. Which, yes, necessarily excludes some people from making some games

    @smestorp @patrickashe well, part of the game that it's marketing. But also part of the other games, of course. This is a kind of sidetrack,
  209. …in reply to @smestorp

    @edclef @chrisoshea (each parallax layer has a Layer assigned & camera only renders that) Mind, that doesn't make moving between layers easy

    @LawrieARussell @edclef @chrisoshea Doesn't look like much when not moving. Did it this way because bg doesn't move, so can statically batch

    @jonbro At one point I had a Posted Bounty down, advanced twice, a Scorched Earth & he had 2 cards in his hand- then he drew up, innocently.
  671. …in reply to @jonbro
    @jonbro probably should've - but he won a turn or two later anyway, pulling an agenda out my hand. Should've scored PB & hidden that agenda.

  675. I usually enjoy games of netrunner more when I lose
  676. …in reply to @v21
    @v21 I think it's because when you lose you get to think about what you should've done differently, which'd seem like being a bad winner.

  691. the Inspector (default!) for this Unity component takes like a second to respond to any input, and I don't know how to fix it.
  692. and the data I need to enter has a lot of underscores in it, and the text entry stuff is putting in -es because it's so laggy
  693. but we'll need to add a lot more stuff later, so this is going to become even more unacceptable over time
  694. and it's so sufficiently unresponsive I can't even use the profiler to look at why
